[Karram]

The DLC will bring a "huge new environment" featuring new enemies and new weapons. Gearbox is saying the experience is designed "for growth for characters from around level 34 to level 50." Yes, apparently Gearbox will be raising the level cap for this upcoming DLC, although they haven't confirmed by how much

That sounds awesome.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

cool

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

So should they change their name to Gearboxx at this point?

;D

 

[Karram]

The first screenshot reminds me of Half life 2.

 

[NullPointer]

Zed -> Ned == Moxxie -> Knoxx

 

[bdouble]

They should have been releasing new weapon parts and attributes for each DLC but thats ok. I might actually buy this DLC.

 

[Nemo]

Heh, for all it's faults, online is awesome. Some dude gave me random high lvl weapons, million $ get! Sucks about them taking away so much when you die though.

I'm currently at New Haven, anyone know how much I have left?

About half to two-thirds left.

 

[Karram]

Gearbox and 2K promise "brutal, never-before-seen enemies in a huge new environment complete with tons of brand new missions" as well as "entirely new weapons and items" in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. The next Borderlands expansion will, as previously promised, also raise the level limit from 50 to... a number larger than 50.

 

[Verapamil]

I skipped Moxxi, but this I might spring for.

 

[Hugbot]

Sounds pretty awesome, color me stoked.

 

[BigBlackGamer]

holyy shiieet....im so hyped

 

[FunkyPajamas]

New enemies, new vehicles, new weapons, level cap increased? Count me in! I hope the price is similar to their previous offerings.

Oh, and also! Please Gearbox make those badass humvee-like vehicles found later in the game drivable! The ones in the Crimson Lancer's base. Those looked awesome.

Wait, do I see space for riding shotgun in those new vehicles? That would be amazing.

 

[Len1978]

I love this game, I find myself saying "just one more mission" before you know it hours have passed I can't wait to see what they do with the DLC#3.
Does anyone know if they have a fix planned for the lack of stats on the ps3 ver. When you pick your character there should be the stats for what ever player (class) you want to load up in the box on the left hand side of the screen. Info like the lvl. of said player, how much time you have clocked in on that player. I'm most interested in the game clock, when i play long rpgs like Borderlands, I like to no how many hours i put into the game.
Sorry for the rambles

 

[Brazil]

Interesting DLC, finally!

 

[AgentOtaku]

Yay!

Looks like my extended leave from Borderlands may be finally coming to an end

 

[Insaniac]

they just keep pulling me back in. I still need the achievements for moxxies extended arenas

 

[TheLegendary]

Cannot wait. On my second character, a level 15 siren. This DLC will be perfect for "new game +" after I beat it.

By the way... Siren > Soldier

[msdstc]

Finally platinumed this... probably gonna start looking into DLC now.

 

[Billen]

Finished Borderlands yesterday. Holy shit the ending was utter crap. Oh well, game is still awesome and we will definately be playing at least 2 of the DLC expansions.

 

[Revolutionary]

I finally went back to Borderlands today as it came in the mail from Gamefly (originally bought it on release, sold it after beating it because I didn't feel it was worth the $60). Jumped right into the DLC's and was pleasantly surprised by the Dr. Ned one. Quite fun, although the fact that some locales were pretty much recycled was a bit of a let-down. Anyway, a few hours later (ugh @ the Brains collectathon) and ended up getting the Platinum by finally hitting 50.

Then came Moxxi... I don't even know what to think about it. It was definitely challenging, but it's not what I'd call fun... at all.
However, I'm still going to try and finish it completely (damn you Gearbox for giving the DLC 3 Silvers and a Gold!).

I was looking for tips online to beat it and the most common suggestion is to just mod your weapons and get it over with. :lol Is it really that easy to do?

 

[glaurung]

The new DLC screens look awesome as hell!

Cannot wait to see new enemies and vehicles.

Still kind of hate Moxxi's DLC due to its intolerably slow pace, but it's not like I can get my money back now.

 

[MarkMclovin]

What level can you complete the game on? I'm currently 22 with the Soldier, but I'm going for 1000GS.

Gearbox needs to hire some better photoshoppers.

 

[Aaron]

What level can you complete the game on? I'm currently 22 with the Soldier, but I'm going for 1000GS.

30 or so if you're rushing for the end. 40+ if you do all the side missions.

 

[NullPointer]

30 or so if you're rushing for the end. 40+ if you do all the side missions.

34 for me doing all side missions solo.

 

[ZealousD]

What level can you complete the game on? I'm currently 22 with the Soldier, but I'm going for 1000GS.

You'll be lvl 35-40 if you do everything. You might get around halfway through the second playthrough when you hit lvl 50.

 

[Len1978]

I wouldn't mind seeing some type of banking system so i can stash some of my millions in there. I sucks when you have a lot of money and you die. Also fix the stat page on the ps3 ver. so I can see my stats when you start the game. Most importantly Time of play

 

[KennyLinder]

Got this before Christmas and hammered the shit out of it, and finally hit level 50 tonight and got 1000/1000 Achievements. I don't think I am going to bother with the DLC as I have so much else to play (Batman is still sealed from Xmas arggh!), but its a cracking game.

I played 99% of it in co-op and loved pretty much every minute of it, and although it could of done with more mission variation and some polish here and there, it was a fantastic 50+ hours

Things I'd love to see in the sequel:
- Weapon crafting. How cool would it be to build your own custom weapons?!
- On-screen map. Please.
- Quick menu for altering current missions
- More mission types and variation
- More varied environments would be lovely
- Being able to level up the vehicle - they get damaged way too easily later in the game
- More vehicles too, something like a Ghost or Banshee would be sweet!


Overall though, Borderlands was awesome

 

[Gully State]

So I'm guessing that the secret armory of General Knoxx holds incredible technology and it opens only once every 100 years?

 

[Salsa]

good news, currently playing zombie island with a friend so i guess this is next (maybe mad moxxi..), the only thing i really want is a way to buy all the bullets you can fit into the gun more easily, its a pain in the ass having to click the bullets icon, then ok, then bullets, then ok, then bullets...(pc version).

 

[UFRA]

Just got to level 50 tonight and got the platinum trophy finally. I can now let this game sit and wait for the DLC while I play White Knight.

 

[oktarb]

Just watched Royal Tenenbaums (again) and low and behold the hawks name in the movie is Mordecai.

Coincidence? I think not.

 

[out0v0rder]

i hate this shit

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Downloading The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned right now I'm very LTTP on this, but all of the releases late last year drew me away. Having said that, it's quite ironic that my girlfriend and I have decided to go back to it tonight as our Mass Effect 2 addiction level is very high. :lol

We're both at lvl 34 so hopefully it will be a good experience. Then we need to finish the main game... -_-

Edit: An hour or two in and I'm really liking it. The change of atmosphere is great - the rest of Pandora looks basically the same.

 

[GhettoGamer]

What is a good build for a siren? Im leaning toward the phoniex build. Im mainly PvE

 

[wud]

I want to play a completely broken, unbalanced & overpowered Roland build on my new game +, whats the best way to do this?

ps this game is AMAZING

 

[GuardianE]

Siren > all

This man speaks the truth.

 

[Yoshichan]

Hunter > all

I skipped Moxxie and I'm glad I did. I'll be buying Knoxx in an instant though!

EDIT: Yes, apparently Gearbox will be raising the level cap for this upcoming DLC, although they haven't confirmed by how much.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 

[Gekko87]

beat the game as a Siren.

So yeah I agree

Siren > All

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Hunter > all

A fellow Hunter! Salute!

 

[Haunted]

Yes!

Seems like more goodness in the vein of Zombie Island instead of that arena bs. Count me in.

 

[Yoshichan]

A fellow Hunter! Salute!

They're seriously so addictive and awesome!

Spoiler

And the ONLY class that requires skill!

SALUTE!

1 hit kills and and ignoring shields says otherwise.

1 hit kills and and ignoring shields says otherwise.

If you're having problems getting headshots or criticals on enemies none of that will matter, thus requiring skill . We can't let any machine do our work, we can't become invisible or invincible for that matter ♥

 

[Kingpen]

I have a dilemma.... I have a copy of borderlands that I got during a B2G1 free sale at gamestop... Have not played it at all. I just finished Assassin's Creed 2, and am really hyped for Bioshock 2 (Bioshock is probably my favorite 1p FPS ever).

I can trade both Borderlands & Assassin's Creed 2 (which I won't replay) for Bioshock 2 pretty much straight up.

Am I making a big mistake? I'm thinking at this point I almost would rather pick up the refined Borderlands sequel in the future, or maybe even a GOTY edition with all the bonus content.

p.s. I won't be playing online at all... but I could play occasional local co-op...

It's really up to your tastes. Obviously most of the people in this thread (myself included) would say for you to keep it. I would say it's definitely worth a shot, but if you're short on money and you know you'll love Bioshock 2 then by all means do that. For me personally it was a game that, right before I decided to open my copy, I was sort of in the same position as you. A lot of people got down on the game for lack of trading and some other issues so I wasn't sure if all the hype leading up to it was warranted. I'm glad I decided to keep it though because it became my most played game of the holiday season (although not my favorite) and I'm still playing now.

I played the game online for a total of 15-20 minutes with a friend. The rest I've played by myself. Despite what some people say (although again this depends on the individual) the game is just as fun and addicting playing by yourself.

Just letting you know that Borderlands is incredible even in single player ♥
